deployment

Hello

I am using and develpping with CI4 and now I really start to like it.  I am still not an expert and have many questions but I am learning step by step.

Now My question here is about deployment.

How to deploy ? What is the good practice.?

I describe how I do for deployment
- copy all source to the production server
- Modifiy .env to adjust db infos
- Run script to create or update the database
- I still need to adjust permission in few directories

I noticed that I have too many files : readme.md with the codeiginiter text and few others. I think I don't need such file. licence etc...
What files or directories are useless for deployment ?

I have 2 kinds of deployment .
- Deployment I am doing myself : I need to write a procedure. It is ok because I am supposed to be sys admin and master of my server
- Deployment that the user could do. : Here is my problem. I want the deployment the most easy as possible. Imagine wordpress you download source and go to a page and type few information. Do you have ideas in this direction?  How to write installation tool ? Do you have an example.

An other problem I am facing is Installation on mutual host. then your web will be https://site.com/pub/  Then it is impossible to install something on the domaine root.

thank you for your advices and helps

This depends on your hosting provider.

On my host I can just take and FTP all files to my server.

On others some have a way to upload files through their CPANEL or PLESK.

I use FileZilla FTP to upload all my files.

What did you Try? What did you Get? What did you Expect?

I have a vps then I can use git pull to update. and of course ftp. On mutual host I have only ftp.

I'm old school, so my preferred way to deploy a website is with custom bash scripts. I have one to create a tar.gz archive with all the files I need. I copy this package with scp on my server. Then I log on the server with a SSH terminal, and I run a second bash script to unzip and install the files in the right folders. And I have a text file with all the command I need to run. This way it's easier to remember what I need to do, because my memory is not that good!
